Relative truths are evaluated relative to a presupposed value system (a system of dualities), hence why it's called relative truths. It's very accurate considering how relativity is a core feature of duality (either part of a duality can only exist relative to the other part). All truth statements based on duality are relative, and non-duality (direct experience) is Absolute Truth. What you can consider "wordly" relationships all boil down to varying degrees and depths of relativity. The more relationships that exist in a given system, the more "relative things" there are. The more perspectives you're able to integrate into your own, the more relativity you have to engage in: For example, Einstein's theory of relativity doesn't contradict or exclude most of the conclusions of Newtonian mechanics, but he only adds a new layer of relativity (the relativity of time and space), and that unlocks a new territory of inquiry and exploration. Einstein includes Newton in his own perspective, but he also adds something more to the table, and that requires relativity. Likewise, the ability to distinguish between the absolute and the relative is just an additional layer of relativity (maybe we can call it "meta-relativity"). Therefore, when somebody conflates the absolute and the relative, I tend to invoke "the Absolute-Relative fallacy", and it looks something like this :

It's only called a dream because you're dreaming it up in your direct experience.

Other people exist relatively speaking. However, we're talking about Absolute Truth, and in that sense, other people are literally You. True non-duality is more shocking than you think.

That, my friend, is called the relative/absolute fallacy: conflating relative truths with absolute truth. Only Absolute Truth itself is absolutely true, but you can conceptualize and communicate it using language, and then it is being re-contextualized as a relative truth. Only direct experience itself is Absolute Truth, and it can therefore never be directly spoken of, only pointed to.

@Gesundheit If it's not direct experience, it's not truth.

What is life?

Not really.

How do you know it can be tricked?

If I were to use the sheet I gave, there are many things that seem to correlate (weakly or strongly) between N and P: Granted, I'm comparing full sentences with other full sentences, and that may cause additional inaccuracy.

Lovely

@Gesundheit There is Absolute Love and Absolute Beauty, and then there is relative love and relative beauty.

Bro. No. Bro.

Especially 16 year olds with rifles lol

A broken old chair of crappy plastic in the middle of garbage couldn't be a more perfect broken old chair of crappy plastic in the middle of garbage. It's pure perfection.

No. I've been listening to metal for 12 years though . It was an analogy, not an equation. Just because something can be used as a spiritual practice doesn't mean it's inherently spiritual. The journey is not the destination.

Not as good as Maynard James Keenan from Tool LOL : That movie is insane.

Touching a hot stove can also be used as a spiritual practice. That is beside the point though.

Nofap gives you energy but can make you into a raging bull. You need to find a balance.

Haha I just read that Luna Lovegood is the 2nd most viewed INFP profile on personality databases, and I'm an INFP myself. I'm certainly a bit loony too

Making the sound continuous is not really besides the point. It just demonstrates the point in a clear way. Do genres with harsher sounds lead to a greater amount of stress compared to gentler music? Yes. There has even been done science on this: https://nutritionfacts.org/2017/12/07/the-health-effects-of-heavy-metal-music/

Postmodernism is the green mother of yellow. Intellectuals who struggle with it is a good indicator that they're stuck in orange.

Our school is known for its extensive theology department. Maybe that increases my odds of not comming off like a doofus.

Try it out and compare it to another continuous sound. My guess is that one of them will make you considerably more stressed.

Try to put on a recording of one continuous death metal growl and see how long you can tolerate it.
